I’m feeling:
good, real good.

I’m developing quite a crush on:
crème brulee chai.

I’m finding that:
searching for the most amazing wedding venue that’s affordable is proving to be a challenge. {pssstt…. any suggestions lovely Portland friends? outdoors, garden, farm, orchard, the mountain….}

I’m excited to go to:
forecast this weekend with two lovely ladies.

I still think that:
Portland weather is weird.

and that’s all for now… happy weekend, friends!

letterpress invites

so, a few months back I mentioned that I was up to something good. I’ve been working on a few projects actually, some that have debuted and others that are still under wraps. but here’s a clue of what’s to come.

when my friend Lauren got engaged, her first question to me was if I would design her wedding stationery suite. of course I said yes, and immediatly began thinking about letterpressing her invites. I quickly signed up for an intro class and began pressing on my own. for the invitations, Lauren wanted to concentrate on a monogram that could be used in multiple places for her ceremony and reception. of course I contacted the amazing Tara Jones, who I must say is the most wonderful person to work with. she wrote those pretty letters for the L & E monogram which I had made into a plate for letterpress.  I designed and letterpressed the invitation and reply card as well as the envelopes and the escort cards for the table assignments.

I have to tell you friends, I’m beyond happy about letterpressing. I’ve had my heart set on doing it for years now, and now that I’m actually doing it, I couldn’t be happier. I’m excited to announce that I’ll be taking on a few custom wedding invitation orders a year. so if you’re interested, please send me an email.

next project in the works involves these pretty little stamps.
stay tuned for details!

I picked up the April Issue of Sunset Magazine for my flight last week and absolutely fell in love with this succulent wall by Flora Grubb Gardens. also featured yesterday on Design Sponge, Flora Grubb Gardens is a plant enthusiast’s delight, filled with unique displays of succulents and airplants!
